00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Forty

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>seven degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening around these parts. It's no

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 1>longer smoke from a distant fire that's been affecting us.

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>It is smoke from nearby fires. North of Boston. One

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>fire in Middleton near the reservoir has increased in size,

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and WBZTV's Penny commit tells us there's an even larger

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 1>one burning near Salem.

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>With one hundred and thirty acres burned. Crews from up

10
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and down the state are in Salem today trying to

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>save another one hundred and thirty acres from catching flame.

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Fire Chief Allan Dyon says that will all depend on

13
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 2>the wind. Were anticipating the fire will flare up again today.

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>This morning, we saw Cruise tackle a large brush fire

15
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>off Highland Avenue. It reignited about forty five minutes later

16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>when the wind picked up. This cycle, the Chief says,

17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>is making it difficult for Cruise to fully extinguished these flames.

18
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>The good news for Halloween revelers is that downtown activities

19
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 1>in Salem so far are unaffected. The beatles, saying about

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>eight days a week. By that logic, election days a

21
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 1>week away. In reality, it's a week plus a day,

22
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>hence eight days the presidential candidates hitting the road and

23
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>digging for votes from the undecided. Still, Vice President Kamala

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Harris has another battleground state blitz.

25
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Vice President Harris today makes several stomps in battleground Michigan,

26
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 3>focusing on investment in manufacturing. Her campaign says she'll argue

27
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 3>she would be a better president at protecting American jobs

28
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>and her opponent Donald Trump. She'll visit a facility that

29
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 3>produces solar panel parts and received a three hundred and

30
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty five million dollar federal grant last week, touring the

31
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>assembly line and meeting with workers. She'll later visit a

32
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>union training facility, meeting with instructors and apprentices. Tonight, the

33
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Vice president will hold a rally with her running mate,

34
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 3>Governor Tim Walls in ann Arbor, home to the University

35

36
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Former President Donald Trump rally in New York City last night. Today,

37
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>he's back on the campaign trail down south.

38
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Today, Trump holds two events in Georgia, afternoon remarks to

39
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 4>a gathering of faith leaders, and then an evening rally

40
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>in Atlanta following last night's Mega MAGA rally at Madison

41
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Square Garden. Trump's campaign is actively seeking to distance itself

42
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 4>from the jokes told by a little known comic before

43
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Trump took the stage. His line that Puerto Rico is

44
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 4>a floating island of garbage is one that Florida Republican

45
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 4>Senator Rick Scott calls not funny and not true.

65
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Chilli night Tonight is some of the inland suburbs get

66
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>well down into the thirties, and we may have a

67
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>frost in some areas. Gets cold enough, and it could

68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 1>in a few of the normally colder spots we may

69
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 1>get a freeze. No freezing in Boston about forty two

70
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>for the low downtown under mainly clear skies, clouds and sun.

79
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Right now it is forty seven degrees in Boston. It

80
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>was a dangerously fun playground structure. Now it's becoming a

81
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 1>sizzling hot collector's item. Wz's Matt Shearer climbs in.

82
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 6>Remember burger jails. Back in the seventies, McDonald's built their

83
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 6>iconic play places, including the infamous Big Mac Climber, a

84
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 6>giant cheeseburger that kids could climb into and unfortunately get

85
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 6>very hurt on. There were hundreds of hospital visits. By

86
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 6>nineteen ninety seven, McDonald's had disposed of them all but

87
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 6>a few survived, which brings us to Easton Cool. So

88
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 6>this is the reaction I look for. Jacobell has an

89
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 6>entire corner of his backyard dedicated to decaying McDonald's memorabilia,

90
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 6>including the Big Mac Climber, which now goes for thousands

91
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 6>of we first, god, he so what are you gonna

92
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 6>do with that?

93
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna put there. I'm gonna look at it.

94
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna smile because it makes me happy.

95
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 6>He does have kids, but this was more for his

96

<v Speaker 1>sites for putting the next humans on the Moon.

101
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 7>Space Agency officials say they're looking at nine possible regions

102
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 7>near the Moon's south pole based on geological characteristics and

103
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 7>flexibility for missions. The south pole has been permanently shadowed

104
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 7>that increases the possibility of ice. It's a strategic reserve

105
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 7>that could be converted to drinking water for astronauts and

106
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 7>used to eventually manufacture or rocket fuel. NASA hopes to

107
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 7>land astronauts there as soon as twenty twenty six on
